A young girl was gravely impacted after her brother’s attempt on his life, causing her to withdraw from school, activities, and Girls Rugby. Desperate for the camaraderie and empowerment the program offered, she faced a condition: return to school to rejoin Girls Rugby. Embracing this, she returned to school on the day of rugby practice, reuniting with her supportive community. Girls Rugby helped her find a path to recovery and hope, illustrating the profound impact our program had on her life.
The short story you read above was from our “Your Story Grant” winner. Girls Ruby will receive $1000 to help continue shaping the lives of these young girls. Thank you for making such an impact in the community.
